Ducks Unlimited Conservation Initiatives

Connecting people and resources with critical habitats

Waterfowl are a continentally shared resource, and Ducks Unlimited has worked across North America since 1937 to ensure a strong future for ducks and for waterfowlers. By contributing to DU's regional fundraising initiatives, you will be supporting the priority breeding, migration and wintering habitats vital to North America's Waterfowl populations. The regional initiatives below, organized geographically, function to connect people and resources with critical habitats, and recognize each region's role in sustaining the future of waterfowl and in achieving DU's vital mission.
